Love Smoky Eyes? Next Time Make Them Multi-Tonal and Iridescent—Like a Peacock!

A lot of you may remember this look from when Megan posted about it back in February, but I actually popped backstage in Milan at Robert Cavalli's A/W12 runway show back in February, and trust me when I tell you—you almost had to be there to appreciate everything that happens in Cavalli's world. Anywhere he goes, an abundance of cologne, fur, sequins, leather, fishnet, feathers, and ample cleavage is sure to follow. With all that was going on around me—seriously, it was a lot—ever the beauty addict, I still found myself utterly mesmerized by the colorful smoky-eyed makeup.

Very rarely do we see smoky eyes on the runway outside of the run-of-the-mill black/brown/silvery gray palette, so when I'm treated to something new—attention must be paid. Aren't her triple-tone iridescent smoky eyes beyond gorgeous?

For this look, Pat McGrath masterminded a must-try opalescent version that was incredibly reminiscent of mallard feathers—depending on where the light hit, each girl's lids were enveloped in a gorgeous glint-y mishmash of grape, emerald, and gold. "It's a bit peacock-ish," McGrath told me. "She's a sexy Cavalli girl with perfect skin and nude lips, but I just wanted to play with color!"
